The central question for marketers is:– “How do consumers respond to various
marketing efforts the company might use?”

Motives and Needs
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs implies that lower level needs must be satisfied prior to higher level needs.– Physiological needs– Safety needs– Social needs– Esteem needs– Self-Actualization
A motive (or drive) is a need that is sufficiently pressing to direct the person to seek satisfaction.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs explains why people are driven by needs at particular times.
